PS3 Players are Handicapped

[Sove92]

twintania divebombs which require moving before symbol appearance

This is not true at all. Our BRD/WHM plays on PS3 and has no issues on Divebombs, moving too early just wipes the group if you are the target. Titan is the only content in the game we have ever had issues with on PS3.

It's a shame the original post (and, it seems, most of the other posts by the TC) was so inflammatory. As a PS3 player who recently got a PS4 and participated in the beta, here's how I'd put it to everyone who's going to be staying on the PS3 for a while:

I can't wait for you all to join me on the PS4 when you're ready This game that we love so much looks and plays even better than I thought it could. The SSD in the PS3 helped a lot, no question about it. But I'm seeing things I never noticed before, and I've played a lot. Dodging really is easier. It's a wonderful experience - and I think you're going to love it!

Oh, and it's the same simple process to put an SSD in the PS4 as well. I highly recommend it.

OP doesn't get it, 90% of the people here are telling you that its a silly idea and would be bad for business, Take it and stop trying to prove your point. You really sound ridiculous. Btw I play on PS3 and PC. Some people don't have the luxury to spend that much on a new console. Also why didn't you put that money into a good gaming rig? Could be better in the long run. I use a gamepad on my PC since I hate using the mouse and keyboard.

I meant to mention that, actually - I think you're right!

my static consist 6 PS3 players and im one of them too

we have tried many times avoiding divebombs by seeing the symbol/sound in our 1st attempts at divebombs but we cant avoid it even with 0 lagg

so we have to move 1 sec before divebomb symbol appear to avoid it successfully

as for titan EX we have no problems with anything at all

You'll have to teach yourself to not pre-dodge in Titan Hard/Extreme, though. I kept accidentally pre-dodging in Titan Ex and... eergh. I accidentally KO'd party members a few times. Thankfully it was a FC party, so they didn't yell at me

My reactions are actually slow lol and this is what I blame my KOs on. So I just memorize patterns and anticipate them rather than act before they happen. That seemed to work for me the best so far!

I blame the game because most of the times I get hit I am out of that zone but the game wants to read me inside it, so if I die I spend the next 10 minutes apologizing to my party and telling them it show me out of the zone when I got hit that last time. But literally in most cases we PS3 players gotta recognize the attack stance the boss is making to dodge it correctly, or so it seems this way lol.

I will again address the OP but more civil, OP I decided if you want me or any PS3 player to switch to PS4 now than you will be required to buy me or any other a PS3 player a PS4 so we can make that switch.

Dunno, apparently a bunch of people have busted ass ps3's. Like i mentioned before SSD make a difference w/ loading times and some various visual effects. Even before that though, I did coils and titans w/out "lag" issues, I don't know why my ps3 is any different. I do agree that for the good of the game that ps3 should eventually be phased out, but it still has a bit of life left in it.
